What would I do if I knew I were dying~~

My patient passed away on the second day of my "Grief and Bereavement" course. Somehow the course felt different after her passing. She seemed to be closer to me than I imagined. I wonder how she felt just before she passed away. Maybe she felt released and maybe she was comforted. Then I began to wonder, what would I feel if I knew that I was going to die?

Dat's why it is important to live each moment to its fullest because we never know when we would pass on because for all you know, I could not return from Mount Ophir. This is not being morbid, it is the truth because anything and everything can just happen at anytime.

So, what would I do if I had time to prepare for my death?
-spend more time with my family (cook more dishes, go to the park, watch tv, chat.....)
-meet up or call my friends up more often
-eat my favourite foods with my family and friends
-start writing a daily diary
-prepare farewell messages to everyone important in my life
-take all my photos and put them altogether
-listen to my CDs one by one
-playing and singing on my guitar and piano for my family and friends
-reading books on how to cope with dying
-plan my funeral like how I would be planning for my wedding (it's equally important k, oreven more important!!)

Dat was about all I had for the session this morning. It is definitely difficult to face death and probably we will never know how it really feels until we are nearing it. Perhaps thinking about it at times reminds us that while good times come, they do not last forever. So we have to really treasure what we have, even as simple as a "Good morning" or a "Good afternoon" or a "Good night" or a "My baby".

Isn't dat how life is? So even if I won't be around tmr, I know that I have embraced life and will always be loved, cherished and remembered.

And for now, love all of you guys, good night.....
